Hi Kartik,

You currently own the NewsBlur ITP for Debian
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647712). Is there
perhaps something I can help out with? I'm also interested in getting
NewsBlur packaged.

Thanks!

Jelmer

Just to keep the bug informed. NewsBlur has a bunch of
dependencies that aren't strictly necessary and mainly useful because
of the way in which upstream does their hosting. Two of these are raven and
seacucumber, but there are a couple more.

Unfortunately it looks like upstream isn't interested in carrying
these. See:

https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/pull/398#issuecomment-24201362

There are also a couple of libraries that are shipped with NewsBlur
that are also present in Debian itself.

I've uploaded the beginnings of a package to
git://git.debian.org/users/jelmer/newsblur.git

I've given up on this for the moment considering the number of
dependencies that are not packaged in Debian yet.

Cheers,

Jelmer

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging newsblur. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of newsblur from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging newsblur, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 647712 ITP: newsblur -- A visual feed reader with intelligence
 owner 647712 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <647712@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

This project seems to be a commercial product now. At least I couldn't
find any software on the link provided in this RFP.
